Building muscle, whats better? Muscle cell size or quanity?

Since you’ll have a damn hard time affecting the quantity, size is the important factor.

From my limited understanding of human physiology, ^ that’s truth.

Almost seems like the whole hypertrophy vs hyperplasia.

Hypertophy FTW

I am liking the physiology lessons i am learning through these discussions. I woudl love to hear an expanded/detailed version on everything you wrote in that post BBB. Or if you could point me to a good place/book/forum post to read up on it.

Responce:

GOOD POINT but not drug yet however a study by:

Saremi A, Gharakhanloo R, Sharghi S, Gharaati MR, Larijani B, Omidfar K (April 2010)
“Effects of oral creatine and resistance training on serum myostatin and GASP-1”

Shows that creatine and resistance training effectively decrease Myostatin…
